RE: Contract: need Hart support for random sampling

["alkolwicz" <alkolwicz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,

Will you take the lead to ensure that the sampling process is not limited to
"checking the addition" of the wrong set of votes?  

Equally important to be sampled are the qualification of ballots and the
interpretation of votes.

1.  Eligible ballots go uncounted, and ineligible ballots get counted. 

2.  The interpretation of what constitutes a vote is not reliable.  As I
understood the Hart system, only those ballots that WERE initially rejected
by the equipment will be reevaluated for a recount.

I am available to discuss further.
